We recently discovered rising pop-star, Harlee and we haven’t been able to get enough of her stunning debut four-track EP, ‘It’s Personal’.

The lead single from the EP, ‘Now I Know’, was written when Harlee was just 14 and explores the feelings that she experienced coming out of her first relationship and the first time she had ever felt pain.

Emphatic electro-pop band WYVE from France share their upbeat debut single, ‘Sunset on the Bay’.

Groovy by nature, WYVE effortlessly bounce between 80’s retro vibes and contemporary drumbeats and sugary synths. Having already made a start on their debut album, we are excited about what’s to come from the musical pioneers.

Since working with producer Matt Ingram (Florence & The Machine, Lianne La Havas, Laura Marling), Pancaldi has really got down to business honing her sound and adding more grit to her already heart-felt songwriting skills.

On ‘Peace’, Pancaldi states,

“A challenge at first but now an exhilarating awakening having discovered and then explored the electric guitar. ‘Peace’ is my first ‘foot stomper’ track which I think will surprise listeners who’ve been on the journey with me so far. It feels a bold evolution for me so here we go.”

Experimenting with vocal chops and melodic riffs, ‘Horizons’ is upbeat and memorable.

Exciting Nashville producer and creator Super Duper has managed to do something unheard of – create a repetitive song that is quite simply addictive, and in no way annoying. Even Super Duper puts it on repeat, and you should too.

Shining as a storyteller as well as a singer, LuvAbstract tells a very personal, but relatable tale of a goodbye,

“This story was written about me. Everyone has been in the situation where they want a few more moments to gain the courage to kiss that person. This song is a representation of how I felt during this date with ‘her’.”

You should all know who Gryffin is by now. He’s a producer and DJ from Los Angeles who creates dance-led indietronica.

We caught up with Gryffin to talk music, old and new.

Hey Gryffin, how are you?I’m doing very well! Super excited about the release of the new single and am currently working hard on new music and preparing my new live show for the upcoming festival season.

Describe your sound in three words.Uplifting, emotional, empowering.

You put together a playlist for us a while back. Have your musical taste changed in any way since then?I don’t know if they’ve changed particularly but there’s always new music that’s coming out that I admire!

What was it like working with Josef Salvat?That was an incredible experience. I had been a huge fan of him since I first heard “Open Season” so I was very excited for the opportunity to work with him. He’s a very cool guy and is super talented so it made my life a lot easier.

Are there any plans to tour the UK?I was just there! Spent almost 2 weeks out there touring throughout the U.K. with Sigala which was so awesome. I had never been to any places in the U.K. besides London so it was a great experience getting to travel to different places and meeting people there. Hopefully I will come back soon!

We love new music at Indietronica. What new music are you listening to?I’m currently really into the Khalid album and am really digging LANY at the moment.

Josef Salvat twice in week! We are really spoiling you, and not just due to Josef, but because it’s also NYC-based Gryffin‘s first original release.

Following hot in the steps of the likes of Goldroom and RAC with his talented and heartfelt remixes (including Bipolar Sunshine, Years & Years, Tove Lo), it’s no surprise that his own material seriously cuts the mustard.
